Gladstone scientists identify role of tiny RNAs in controlling stem cell fate
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and the University of California, San Francisco have identified for the first time how tiny genetic factors called microRNAs may influence the differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells into cardiac muscle.   view more (2008-03-06)

Scientists identify possible cause of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition whereby patches of the inner lining of the womb appear in parts of the body other than the womb cavity. It can cause severe pain and affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is also associated with infertility, with 50% of infertile women... view more (2008-08-06)

Cancer is a stem cell issue
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers.   view more (2007-02-20)

Stem cells transplanted to female foetus
A Swedish case where a certain type of stem cells has been transplanted to a foetus with a serious disease, was made public today. The results suggest that fetal mesenchymal stem cells may be a valuable source for transplantation and cell therapies.   view more (2004-12-17)

Immunologists find better way to boost the immune system
Immunologists have discovered how to manipulate the immune system to increase its power and protect the body from successive viral infections.   view more (2008-01-23)

Bio-engineering of blood vessels
Blood vessel prostheses work best when the biochemical and mechanical properties match reality as much as possible and when they are made of biodegradable material. To this end tissue technologists grow natural vascular wall cells, endothelial cells, in a biodegradable tube made of collagen.... view more (2002-04-16)

Scientists produce neurons from human skin
Scientists from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in producing neurons in vitro using stem cells extracted from adult human skin.   view more (2007-02-23)

Saving teeth by using periodontal ligament regeneration
Teeth may fall out as a result of inflammation and subsequent destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth. Dutch researcher Agnes Berendsen has investigated a possible solution to this problem.   view more (2008-06-05)

Embryonic stem cells could help to overcome immune rejection problems
Tissues derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells could help to pacify the immune system and so prevent recipients from rejecting them, the UK National Stem Cell Network Science Meeting will hear today (11 April).   view more (2008-04-11)

Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of... view more (2005-08-05)

Nerve cells derived from stem cells and transplanted into mice may lead to improved brain treatments
Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when transplanted into the brain, according to a study published today in The Journal of Neuroscience.   view more (2008-06-25)

Monitoring immune responses in disease
A recent study published in Clinical Immunology, the official journal of the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), describes a new method enabling the detection of multiple parameters of single human cells.   view more (2008-09-04)

Researchers grow stem cells from human skin
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become... view more (2005-06-23)

Neural stem cells derived from human embryonic stem cells carry abnormal gene expression
Neural stem cells grown from one of the federally approved human embryonic stem cell lines proved to be inferior to neural stem cells derived from fetal tissue donated for research, a UCLA study has found.   view more (2006-08-07)

Stem cells provide clues to cancer spread
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how cancers spread in what could lead to new ways of beating the disease.   view more (2007-05-23)

Cold Spring Harbor Scientists Reveal A Protein's Role in Enabling AIDS Virus to Reproduce
A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has discovered new details about how a simian strain of the AIDS virus replicates.   view more (2008-05-27)

Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions.   view more (2007-09-11)

Fish eyes could hold clue to repairing damaged retinas in humans
A special type of cell found in the eye has been found to be very important in regenerating the retina in zebrafish and restoring vision even after extensive damage.   view more (2007-08-01)

What is the function of NOD2 in colonic epithelial cells?
NOD2 is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor similar in structure and function to Toll like receptors (TLRs). It can recognize and respond to a component found in the cell wall of bacteria, muramyl dipeptide (MDP), and has been shown to play an important role in the innate immune response of... view more (2008-10-23)

Deakin University discovery could lead to new leukaemia treatments
Deakin University scientists have identified a protein that could hold the key to new leukaemia treatments.   view more (2006-11-07)

Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer.   view more (2007-12-26)

Liquid crystals show promise in controlling embryonic stem cells
Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells.   view more (2006-03-08)

U-M team identifies gene that regulates blood-forming fetal stem cells
In the rancorous public debate over federal research funding, stem cells are generally assigned to one of two categories: embryonic or adult.   view more (2007-07-27)

Aspirin discovery may improve cancer treatments
Salicylates, including aspirin, are used to treat a range of inflammatory conditions and can be used to prevent diseases such as cancer, but the way aspirin works is not yet fully understood.   view more (2007-04-06)
